Migration minister Tobias Billström caused a stir on Tuesday evening when he wrote in social media that both the Sweden Democrats and Feminist Initiative are extreme parties and need to be fought hard against.

Sweden's voting has closed and a key exit poll shows the nation's leftwing parties wining the day with the xenophobic Sweden Democrats doubling their previous election gains and the Feminist Initiative squeezing past the 4 percent threshold into Parliament.

The national elections are coming down to the wire here and one party is hoping to make a splash in the polls. The left-wing Feminist Initiative might be poised to win their first seats in Swedish Parliament. But, election night success is far from assured.
